Innovations In the Age of Surveillance
As the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks draws nearer, I can’t help but notice how the surveillance industry has grown. Ten years ago, surveillance systems are rarely considered as a must have except for large enterprises. How times have change… Just yesterday, I saw a newsstand with a warning sign that read “Don’t do anything stupid. CCTV in operation.” That would be pretty amusing except that the tiny newsstand has at least three CCTV domes (I saw those personally, there may be more). And it’s only the size of my apartment’s bathroom!
This begs the question, are times so turbulent nowadays that we really need this level of monitoring? Are CCTVs getting more affordable that even your typical mom and pop corner store can afford them?
